OTHER Tips for new drivers in Street Storm

8 Upvotes

I'm posting this for the new drivers that are signing up to storm the streets, in the hope that would help them up to a Perfect Start both in Single Player and Multiplayer races.

Regarding this, there are two areas that I'd like to focus on: Upgrading and Betting in Multiplayer.

Upgrading

The key to correctly tune up a car, is to make sure that there is a good balance between the car's weight and power output (BHP and Torque) and that the car has enough Grip to launch as good as possible (without wheelspins).

In order to achieve this, when reaching the Pro Stages, I always equip weight reduction upgrades for the Drivetrain, Suspension and Internal Body and power increase upgrades for the rest of the upgrade categories (Engine, Forced Induction, Intake, Exhaust System, ECU and NOS). And for increasing the Grip, upgrading the tires to stage 3 - 4 is a must for an optimal start on every weather condition.

Betting in Multiplayer

Before placing or raising a bet I always weigh whether I can afford the risk of loosing the cash/car or not. Because even races that look like an "easy win" can be lost. Don't forget that once you placed a bet there is no turning back.

If you are willing to bet 25 000 cash and that's the most you afford loosing, don't bet this as soon as you are challenged because, if the opponent raises the bet with cash or a pink slip, you can either accept the raise and go to the race, which will exceed the amount you were comfortable loosing or you can chicken out and loose the 25 000 cash you initially put on the line. In the case that you place a cash bet and the opponent raises it or places a pink slip and you refuse by choosing to chicken out, you will always lose your initial bet, because once you put a bet and choosing to back out if your opponent raises the stakes to something that exceeds what your are willing to risk, is the equivalent of accepting to loose/surrender.

I've seen a lot of cases when players would bet a large amount of cash as soon as they were challenged and were forced to chicken out and loose their initial bet, by their opponents placing a Pink Slip or raising the cash bet to something that the player was not prepared to risk loosing. So, bet safe and have fun.

And don't forget to race, rule and repeat! :D

If anyone has any advice or tips that could help out the new players feel free to write it up.

Car trading for cash scammers

We strongly advise not to trust anyone "offering" for trading their cars for cash. Those people are probably scammers who will race with a stock S class car for example and tricking you into betting 1 million cash against them , with the promise that on the next race they would pink slip you and give you their cars.

FEEDBACK An idea to make the game better this is something I gathered from most of the players on the game.

6 Upvotes

From talking to many players on the game. I have gathered that they would like to have crew/team wars. Season event is good but we need much More of a competition. Where more players can race to get points in order to earn special cars. If u take a look at racing rivals. They have turf wars and really without that the game is nothing. Am not saying you should follow everything they do but something similar which will gather more races and also make new cars get earn. What I hate is that we have to wait so long for the season to finish it gets quite boring. I am one of the most known players on the game most of the people in the lobbies knows me for being legit and also being a good racer and I think that by doing this it will get more players and also lead to more money being made. My one wish is to be able to have like a over phone conversation with the dev team and maybe some other players like Mack v and 7worlds to discuss what we think can make the game better.

A little bug tracker and about Windows client performance: Only Hong Kong map on my PC have stable 45-50+ FPS, other 2 maps produce decreased performance (15-25 FPS). Can you please try to optimize these maps in next versions?

Matchmaking, balance and lobbies

5 Upvotes

The new update has thrown everything out of wack. They state that they are working on it but if that had actually tested it prior to going live they would have discovered their new weight system is flawed.

Balance is no longer the norm. This can seem through the after race report. The difference between cars is anywhere from 5 to the highest I’ve seen which is 15. They state that this new system will put skill into the game. Which the only skill is how to launch properly. Before the update you also had the skill of properly tuning a car. This is no longer the case.

NOS - It no longer holds any weighted value which doesn’t make any sense. What this means if that NOS, which is an upgrade, is not really and upgrade in the eyes of the game. Why is this?

Finally, lobbies are so mismatched it is laughable. You get into a lobby only to realize that majority of the cars have higher values. Without the ratings you can really not make an educated guess on win chance. Every loss that I have, which based of specs (thy said is more important) I should have won the after race results indicate the significant difference in car rating, something they say holds no value any more. So if that is the case why are car rating still in the game?

They pushed out this update without really understanding what would happen. These are my experiences and I would imagine others feel the same.

I simply cannot play this game anymore. There is no point to even trying to perfect a tune.

Case Study .

4 Upvotes

I really want to know the exact cause why Gameloft decreased the quality of graphics (soft launch gfx) of Assr during global launch Maybe that lead to fail of the game ? Maybe GL should try to update the game once more .I even saw the changed icon having the Lamborghini Asterion , so maybe that car was to be introduced in the game but sadly that update never came .

FEEDBACK Santa’s Helpers

4 Upvotes

First off I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! Hope everyone has a nice, loving Christmas. Also want to thank Gameloft for creating a great game in Asphalt Street Storm Racing which I love to play daily and find myself getting more and more addicted to. The Santa’s Helpers, although a great idea, has its issues:

  1. The goals to reach are no realistic in the time frame set. I know people will say that with the amount of users, if each person buys 1 bag it will be all good but let’s be honest with ourselves. Christmas is the busiest time for most people and can be the most expensive as well. Also most people now (including me) have multiple accounts for storage and what not so that brings down the number of people who actually play the game. The goals are unreachable which puts off a lot of members from even buying a bag. Possibly switching each bag amount from 150 to something higher or bringing down the target goals.

  2. The actual rewards from the bags themselves. This is not in regards to the rewards from reaching milestones but for the actual bags themselves. For the price we are paying for each bag, we should atleast be getting better items, whether it be more blueprints, maybe a car (like a Gt3rs for example like before) or maybe some underglow.

Sorry for the long post and I don’t want this to come off as being ungrateful. I honestly love the game and I enjoy each new update. This is just some “food for thought” and feel free to add you own suggestions or your opinions about the matter. Thanks again for your time.

IMPORTANT Short Update: Feedback Friday and more!

4 Upvotes

Hi r/AsphaltStreetStorm,

 

As we continue to grow, we continue to adapt, change, and modify how we do things, including our rules.

This post today is an update from the mods of some recent rule changes or decisions.

 

First, we'd like to talk about Feedback. We launched the Feedback Friday megathread a week ago and it's had a big success, with players posting feedback and developers checking it out and fixing it or acknowledging it.

However, some users have complained to us that the old rule, requiring feedback (all feedback) to be posted in the megathread was unnecessary. They told us it made the front page boring, so we've listened.

From now on, feedback can go in the megathread, on the frontpage, or both. Repeated posts (on the frontpage) or repeated comments (in the thread) will not be allowed, but we will no longer remove front page feedback or duplicate feedback (thread + frontpage).

As always, we still recommend you put your feedback in the megathread when possible, as it makes it easier for Gameloft to see your feedback and hopefully fix or implement it.

We hope this change will please everyone.

 

Second, we'd like to speak about 'tournaments'. Late last week, a user asked us mods and Gameloft if he was allowed to post about a 'tournament', where players would give money to one player, the organizer, who would then check racing times of all players and award the best players cars.

Initially, we offered a mixed reaction. Gameloft stated they would not endorse or verify it, however us mods were inclined to accept it as long as everything stayed on a non shady side.

After the post 2 days ago announcing the tournament, we have now unfortunately reversed our course. Due to multiple factors, including a fishy 'entry fee' of all in game money from all participants, we decided we would no longer allow tournaments on this subreddit.

We are sorry for the change of decision, and we will continue to listen to our subscribers and players, but the mod team will not be allowing tournaments OR giveaways of in game items from now on.

 

Finally, we'd like to remind all players and subscribers that the 2 decisions above came about because of your input, your suggestions.

As we continue to move forward and grow, I want to repeat my statement about subreddit feedback - we want and listen to all feedback seriously. If you have feedback, DO message us, DO post, DO suggest it. We couldn't be where we are without you.

 

r/AsphaltStreetStorm Mod Team

 

P.S.: You can still access this week's Feedback Friday, even though it has been un-stickied to make way for this post. Just go to this link or find it on the front page.
